Banter at breakfast on who had the least sleep last night, but nice hotel breakfast for 7 euro



Set up sat nav's and departed in city traffic but DC lost the team at red traffic lights so steamed onto main highway to Seville, pulled into first services and rest came by so hooked up with team.

Had planned to go mountain route but now have BBQ to get to by 2.00pm so pressed on to Seville

Stopped for coffee and met 2 Scottish holiday bikers drinking coffee, turned out he worked for Babcock international who took over the BMW training centre many years ago, said that's when I left and he went quiet. Friendly discussion on Spanish speed traps and huge sums they must be getting for catching motorists, 55,000 caught in Granada region alone. Stealth tax indeed.

Onwards with scorchio weather our new Spanish word for sunshine, Claudio has been most often used with rainio Also in the frame.

Entering Seville outer area we found ourselves on massive 6 Lane highway with no other traffic, had we ventured into a road works or new airbus runway, massive investment on new road but midday Saturday completely empty.

Found with sat nav the road to Robins house over new suspension bridge and saw Seville docks, few more small roads and ken yes ken amazingly took the lead for the last half mile. Total recall had hit him and we found robins house.

BBQ fired up we tried to engage with Lucas 4 and Lola 2 but they still bit shy.

BBQ over we stowed our kit and plan venture out to local tapas bar, maybe have to walk the 20 mins, Seville city tomoz, and DC suggesting Gibraltar trip Monday as its not that far, and would be nice to see the colony etc, maybe take in Cadiz on way back too.

Team reading event now as we await make Carmen to return from selling at local market.
